Where do old builds go? (download.lineageos.org)

When I started using LineageOS on my Redmi Note 9 Pro, there were a couple of releases available, one was LOS 18.1 and the other one was LOS 19.1, but as time went, the los 18.1 downloads were gone and then the same happened to the 19.1 releases.

Thankfully, I have the version that I want already downloaded in my machine, but if someone wanted to download now those prior versions... well, good luck it seems.

Edit: yes, I know about archive.org, but can't download.lineageos.org provide access to prior versions somehow? Is it because of storage costs?

Where can I find the last build for xxx device before support was dropped or its LineageOS version was deprecated?

In short, you can’t. We don’t build more than 2 versions usually (exemptions were made when major hurdles prevented a large amount of devices to receive a newer version) and we don’t keep old builds around for a multitude of reasons, the largest being that we won’t keep old, insecure, potentially broken builds around. Additionally, we don’t have the server space (or the space on mirrors) to do so
